Score 4.0/10

Good points:

It takes plenty of time to make and looks good.

Bad points:

After all of that there is not much to do. As a robot it only "dances", I thought it would do much more than that. A good job it was half price. Rather hard to follow the instructions, a good job I didn't leave it to my 11 year old
